It’s a great weekend for yard work

Sunny skies will dominate Greeley’s weather right through early Sunday. I’m expecting near-record highs throughout northern Colorado today, with highs about 80 degrees. Today’s record high at the Greeley airport is 82 degrees, set in 1987.

Winds should be light out of the southwest today.

Highs on Sunday will be slightly cooler in the upper 60s because of a cold front sliding in Sunday evening. Wind gusts to 40 mph also are expected with Sunday evening’s cold front. Overall, the cold front looks rather dry for northern Colorado, but the high mountains may squeeze out a few snow showers.

Normal highs this time of the year are in the low 60s. The long-range weather maps indicate a prolonged stretch of above to near-normal temperatures through the middle part of next week.

The Poudre River is flowing at 68.4 cubic feet per second, which is just slightly below normal.
